FORMING, CHARGING, AND REMOVING DEVICE FOR BAKERS OVENS.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 21, 1915.

Application filed July 13, 1915. Serial No. 39,603.

To all whom it may concern:

- Be it known that I, Anon STRErr, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city of New York, borough of Man- 'hattan, in the countyand State of New vYork, have invented a new and Improved T carriers.

In order to accomplish the desired result,

use is made of an oven in. which revolves controlled means forsimultaneously controlling the said reel and the said molding machine tostop one while starting the other. Use is also made of endless carrierson the reel for supporting the articles to be baked and adapted to bedriven at the time the reel is at rest to deliver the baked articlesthrough the discharge opening to the outside of the oven. Use is alsomade of a gearing for driving the carrier from the said molding machineat the time the carrier isin register with the oven openings and thereel 1s at rest.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure 1 is a sectional plan viewof a bakers oven provided with theforming,

charging and removing device; Fig. 2 is a cross section of the same;Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the same with the parts in section on theline 3--3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4

is an enlarged sectional side elevation of one of the carriers hung onthe reel.

. '-Within the usual brickwork or housing A of a bakers oven is mountedto rotate intermittently .a reel B provided with swing frames C, on eachof which is mounted an endless carrier or apron D', preferably of Wirenetting, passing around rollers D, D journaled on the correspondingframe G. The upper end of each carrier D is adapted to support a seriesof matzoth or other articles to be baked in the oven, which latter isheated in the usual mannerso that further description of this part ofthe bakers oven is not. deemed necessary. When the reel B is at rest oneof the frames G and its carrier D is in register with an inlet opening Aand an outlet opening A the openings being formed directly opposite eachother on opposite sides of the housing A, as plainly indicated in Figs.1 and 2. Into the inlet opening A extends an endless feed belt F formingpart of a molding machine G of any approved construction for rolling ashapeless mass of dough into a sheet and cutting the. sheet into theindividual articles E to be baked in the oven. The molding machine Gshown in the drawings is similar to the one shown and described in theLetters Patent of the United States, No. 131,149, granted on July 1,1890, to Joseph Parr. The molding machine G in its general constructionis mounted on a framework G' in which is journaled a shaft G carrying adrum Gr operating in conjunction with rollers G for pressing the doughinto final sheet form, the dough receiving a preliminary pressing priorto reaching the roller G by being passed between a pair of rollers H andH. In front of the roller G is arranged a rotary die I for making adesired impression on the sheet of dough, and next to this die I isarranged a revolving knife J for cutting the sheet of dough intoarticles E of the desired size.

The articles E are carried by the apron F through the openings A ontothe endless carrier D in register with the openings A, A at the time andwhile the reel B is at a standstill. For the purpose mentioned the shaftD of the roller D of each carrier D is provided with a gear wheel Dadapted to mesh with an intermediate gear wheel K journaled on the frameG and in mesh with a gear wheel K likewise journaled on the frame'G' anddriven by sprocket wheels K,

her P on the K and a sprocket chain K from a shaft F carrying the frontroller F of the apron F, the rear roller F of which extends within theopening A. The 'shaft F is'connected by sprocket wheels L, L- and asprocket chain L with the shaft G of the molding machine G so that whenthe latter is ro-' tated a rotary mot-ion is givento the gear wheel K?to rotate the gear wheel D and thus impart a traveling motion to thecarrier D for the latter to carry the baked articles onto a chute Narranged in the opening A and leading to an endless carrier 0 forcarrying the baked articles to a baking table.

In order to conveniently rotate the reel B and to intermittently rotatethe molding -machine G in such a manner that when the reel B is rotatingthe moldingmachine is at a standstill and vice versa, the followingdevice is provided: The shaft B of the reel B extends to the outside ofthe housing A and on theouter end of this shaft B issecured a worm wheelP in mesh with a worm P secured on a shaft 1? journaled in suitablebearings arranged on the outside of the housin A. On the shaft P issecured a pulley ing shaft Q carrying a pulley Q connected by belt Qwith other machinery for imparting a continuous rotary motion to theshaft Q. A double clutch R is mounted to turn with the shaft Q and ismounted to slide forward by the action of a clutch lever S under thecontrol of the operator in charge The double clutch R is,

started. WVhen this takes place the articles to be baked are formed andcut by the mold ing machine G and are fed by the belt F to the carrier Dnow in register with the belt F and driven by the gear wheel K in meshwith the gear wheel D of this carrier; Thus the baked articles on thecarrier D are moved to the chute N while the unbaked articles on p theapron D are passed onto the carrier D,

and when the last baked article on the carrier D has passed down thechute N and the upper run of the apron is refilled with the unbakedarticles then the operator returns the lever S to its former position sothat the molding machine G is stopped and the reel B is started. Whenthe next frame C, carrier D and the baked articles E reach the openingsA, A then the above described the articles to be baked.

3 connected by a belt P with a pill-- ley P mounted to rotate loosely ona dr1vemptying the carriers of the baked articles,

and for driving the molding machine G used for pressing a shapeless massof dough into ,vided with a reel having endless carriers, the ovenhaving an inlet opening, a feeding de- 'v1ce for feeding the articles tobe baked 5- through the said inlet openingonto-the endless carriers',and a manually controlled driving means adapted to be alternatelyconnected with the said reel and the said feeding device to drive thereel while the feed ing device is at a standstill and vice versa.

2. In combination, a bakers oven provided with an inlet and a dischargeopening, a reel mounted to rotate intermittently in the said oven andhaving endless carriers adapted to register with the said openings, afeeding device having an endless carrier extending into the said inletopening in alinement with the carrier at the opening at the time, and amanually controlled driving means 100 adapted to be alternatelyconnected with the said reel and the said feeding device to drive thereel while the feeding device is at a standstill and vice versa.

3. In combination, a bakers oven provided with'an inlet and a dischargeopening,
